Logically, again, the Mac users would be next in line to be served up with a LibreOffice
theme. If the Mac people could take a look at the suggested guide criteria and come back with
proposals, this would help out quite a bit. Many of us do not have Mac's to work out a theme,
so we need to collect Mac users interested in working on this. You may be able to do like I
did, I asked for help on the KDE forums (theme section). There must be somewhere one could
ask on Mac forums for help as well. In the case of the Mac platform, it will take someone who
owns a Mac to take the lead.
Mac's use the system theme (blue or graphite) for all applications and menu bars. Mac user's
expect all programs that properly follow Apple's user interface design guidelines. Your
proposed theme would have to override the installed Mac theme and would apply to all programs.
This is not wanted by Mac users (I do not know if it is even possible).
Quit trying to impose a standard design for all platforms. The less a program looks like a Mac
program, the less likely a Mac user will use it.
